Personal-use firewood permits available for woodcutting on the Umatilla National Forest. Most firewood cutting areas generally open May 1, with higher elevation woodcutting areas opening later in the season. Firewood areas on the Umatilla National Forest will close November 15. The cost for a firewood permit remains at $5.00 per cord with a minimum purchase of four cords for $20.00. A maximum purchase of 12 cords total from Umatilla National Forest lands is allowed during the calendar year.

Firewood cutting areas at higher elevations or northern exposures may not be accessible until late spring. To prevent road damage, woodcutters are asked not to drive on water saturated, muddy roads. Access roads to most woodcutting areas are unpaved, narrow, and dusty during the summer, requiring well-maintained vehicles and defensive driving. Permits are available at all Umatilla National Forest Offices. Permits are also available at several local businesses in the area including:
